Stay Awake Driving Home

Try this workout: aerobic squats, followed by forward bends. "Aerobic squats will increase the bloodflow to your muscles and give you more energy without exhausting you," says Sward. "The forward bends will stretch your hamstrings, which will give you a more comfortable drive home." Combined, the two exercises allow more oxygen to reach your brain, which will dramatically revitalize you and keep you awake.

Get your second wind: Before you jump into the car, do 10 to 15 consecutive squats with no weight. Rest 30 to 60 seconds, then do forward bends: Stand with your knees slightly bent and your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Bend over at your hips as far as you can, or until your head is between your legs. Hold for 30 seconds, then lift yourself back up again. Repeat four times.
